I’ve never used a camera with CF cards before, but it looks like bent pins are a fairly common problem. 🙁 It sounds like the main advice after bending a pin (and hopefully fixing it again) is to use the bundled USB cable to transfer photos so that the card never has to come out of the camera again.
